The Menzingers - Some Of It Was True (October 13, 2023) • Page 13

Yeah the vocal effect on Tom really threw me at first.

 

The first and second songs on the album being singles is always rough. I almost want to skip to song three to hear something new right now. Either way, diving in!

 

Yeah definitely will be listening to this some point today. Just so surreal it is here after four years since Hello Exile.

 

Not the biggest Menzingers fan but I'm really liking this so far.

Take It to Heart is so good.

 

I'm listening to pretty much all Menzingers all day in honor of the new album coming out and all I have to say is, my god After the Party fucking rules. Lookers is one of my favorite songs ever created by humans.

 

Lookers, Your Wild Years, and After the Party all on one album? Just insane

 

Something about Love at the End is really, really doing it for me.

 

Still can't believe I get this and Creeper tomorrow. What a day. (Yes, I am going to wait.)

 

Yep those are 3 songs are just top top tier. I really love the entire album but could do without Charlie's Army. I think House on Fire is underrated "waiting for your life to start then you die, woah" is so good lmao

 

I am expecting 'Running in the Roar of the Wind' to be the best song on the album based on the title alone and it being the last song.

 

"The older I get the less I know, and I knew nothing then" is a great and classic Menzingers line.

 

You nerds and your early copies and VPN's

 

Just checking in to say that Rented World also fucking rules. Where Your Heartache Exists is also one of my favorite songs ever created by humans lol.

 

The percussion part at the end of Nobody Stays is really cool and unexpected

 

Thoughts on the album after one listen?

 

I had to hop on some calls for work, so I am hopping back in now. On 'Take it to Heart'.

 

Not my favorite Menzingers but quite enjoyed it. Look forward to listening more

 

My main thought after one listen is how much I love how they sound on this album. Best production on a Menzos record. I can't remember if it was this or another thread, but someone mentioned how changing up the production team around the band can be good after a few cycles of working with the same people. Couldn't be more true on this one.

 

Probably around the new TBS record

also agreed lol

 

First listen starting now!

 

Yeah was really hoping they'd move on from Yip after ATP & Hello Exile. I don't have anything against his production and have no complaints on how ATP sounded, but for a band who doesn't reinvent their sound & change up what they do dramatically from album to album its good they moved onto a new producer to give some "freshness" to it.

Am excited to listen to this shortly!

 

Pretty cool to hear audible bass

 

Whoa, ultraviolet doesn’t even sound like them until the 2nd half.

 

This is the one that really jumped out at me on my first listen. Big Goo Goo Dolls vibes for me.

 

Does it sound like Ultraviolet (Light My Way)? That's probably my favorite U2 song lol
